《The Battle Mage》Dark arts
Advertisement
After eating breakfast I started making my way to the stadium, and after a few minutes, I heard a scream so I stayed low and followed the source of the voice.I found 3 people kicking an archery student until he was teleported away, they were clad in black and were all wearing a skull mask.
This is my first time seeing a student from the dark arts academy, their arts required blood be it the enemies or theirs. After using blood is a sacrifice, they will receive a boost in physical strength and magic. It's better to not get close to these people so I tried to leave but...
"*sniff* brother I smell someone, " said one of them as he looked at where I was hiding.The man in the middle brought out a knife and threw it at me, having no choice I stood up and leaped away while the last guy pursued me.
He came at me with both hands wielding a claw so I evaded his onslaught and found a chance to stab him with an [ice lance].When he stopped, he was bleeding from his shoulders, waist, and leg while I had a few tears on my magus uniform.
"Hehe this guy's good even scratchy could only tear his clothes, "said dog nose to the man in the middle
"Heh at least now I can satisfy my hunger," said the man in the middle while licking his lips. These people have a screw loose
"Ok let's all go at him," said the war freak while dog-nose and scratchy nodded
war freak took out a two-handed axe and charged while dog-nose took out a small bow gun and spread some liquid in the arrows.Warfreak jumped up and smashed his axe on me, I jumped back but scratchy jumped out from behind war freak and started attacking me again.

I felt something behind so I did a backflip and watched as an arrow oozing with a black liquid pass me, war freak swung his axe on the spot where I was gonna land so I used an [ice lance] and stuck in the ground as a support and pushed myself up and did another backflip.
Scratchy chased me again after I landed and war freak jumped up swinging his axe downward, I touched the ground and erected an [ice wall] which hit war freak's stomach throwing him off course and landing on his back meanwhile scratchy had to go around the wall.
I used this chance to throw an [ice lance] on a spot by the bushes and throwing the other one at another spot,dog-nose moved to the sides where I precisely threw the second [ice lance] he was cleanly hit in the chest before being teleported him away. I used this chance to use [Mud pit] and around the ground by the edge of the [Ice wall]
Dog-nose was gone while scratchy finally managed to catch up to me but fell to a trap I set up earlier and fell to my [Mud pit], using my right arm swirling with fire I punched him and sent him crashing to a nearby tree and was teleported away.
Warfreak broke through the [ice wall] and swung his axe at me so I jumped backward and used [fire ball], he was hit in the chest and was pushed back but he started charging at me again.
"Take this! [Whirlwind axe!] " he screamed as he spun towards me, my [ice wall] was still on cooldown so I used [fire stream] making his [whirlwind axe] a firestorm with him in the center.
He stopped spinning a few seconds later but his arm was charred black, he looked at me while he took out a knife and stabbed his arms before chanting.

The blood that flowed out turned into a magic circle
"Hahaha you forced me to do this! " war freak screamed as his body started growing to twice his size.
He took his axe with one hand started swinging it at me, I moved to the side and stabbed a newly formed [ice lance] at his waist. He turned around and swung his axe downward again but I already moved to the side and kept stabbing his back [ice lance], he was clearly annoyed.
"Stand still little bug! Argh! [Whirlwind axe!]" He roared and started spinning, I jumped back while pressing my left hand on the ground and my right arm overflowing with ice cold mist.
When he was near me, I raised an [Ice wall] at his feet, throwing him up in the air and pointed my right hand at him using [Ice giant's strike], a giant arm pushed his entire body and pushed him up even higher but it wasn't enough to take him. I raised both my hands and used [fire stream] roasting him mid-air.
"Damn it, you little piece of shit I will remember this! " he screamed as he vanished.
*ping* " The Dark arts University has been wiped out 15/100 teams left"
It was over, so I started looking for a place to hide. I was bit exhausted, the last fight was a bit flashy and loud so it must've attracted a few teams, I still had 3/4 my Hp and half my mana but it will not be good if I keep encountering enemy teams it will become an endless fight.
I found a dead tree which had a hollow body good enough for two people, it wasn't obvious so I went inside and ate lunch.
------------------------------
"Alisa... What do you think? " a young man with long ears asked the girl.
"Clint... It was 3 vs 1... " the girl named Alisa also had long ears but her face was covered with a hood.
"So who won? " Clint asked Alisa.
"The side who only had 1 person... " Alisa replied while doubting herself.
"Are you sure? " Clint knew no one else who could fight 3 students from the dark arts and still win.
"Yeah, see that marking there? It was a circle for a blood circle and that Ice lance stuck to the tree, someone was impaled there while that broken tree there, another must've crashed his body there and finally that giant ice hand and flame stream we saw earlier must've finished off the one who used a blood sacrifice" Alisa said as she looked at spot where there was still traces of Ice.
" A dual elemental mage! " Alisa said as she understood something.
"Tch I wanted to avenge our fallen teammates but someone got to them first," Clint said as he gripped his bow tightly.
"We got two of them, we should be satisfied with that" Alisa also wanted to avenge her teammates but the enemies were already taken down.
"Where did the mage go? " Clint had a greedy look on his face.
"North" Alisa answered as she looked at a direction.
"Let's go take him down" Clint wanted some fame so he wanted to take down the dual elemental mage.
"No, we might not be able to take him down. Let's just hide for now and show ourselves when all the other teams had killed each other".But Alisa was more level-headed.
".... Ok" Clint said but deep inside he kept cursing at Alisa.
The two of them started walking away and soon vanished into the forest.
